Can I Really Heal Back Pain?

It is the goal of every patient to heal back pain completely. Or is it? Most patients will tell you that their pain is their greatest fear, worst enemy and biggest obstacle in life. It is. What would prevent a patient from doing everything possible to finally cure their pain once and for all? The answers are simple, yet complicated.

Coming to terms with unresolved pain is difficult, since we are conditioned to expect medical science to cure all our ills. When a cure eludes us, despite our best efforts, there is always a reason why. Understanding the nature of chronic pain and the explanations of why medicine has failed to provide appropriate or successful care to most sufferers is the scope of this article.

You Can Heal Back Pain Permanently

In order to truly heal, the underlying pain condition must be
discovered and successfully eliminated. There is almost no actual proof
that many common
scapegoat
conditions actually cause any pain whatsoever.

Herniated discs,
osteoarthritis
and
degenerative disc disease
are the big three when it comes to accepting the blame for most common back pain. It is ironic that these conditions are almost universal in the
population and rarely cause painful symptoms in their mild to moderate
forms. Of course, severe structural issues in the spine can indeed be
terribly symptomatic, but these events are rare and certainly do not
represent the usual patient profile. To heal back pain permanently, the causation of the pain must be
identified.

Medical science still believes that most back pain is
caused by some anatomical
spinal abnormality. In some cases, they are right. In others, there may be another disease process or injury
elsewhere which has not yet been identified as the symptom generator.

Of course, some chronic pain is
psychosomatic
in nature. Doctors are not prepared to deal with this type of
condition, so they simply choose to ignore the nearly undeniable facts
concerning the true nature of most of these mindbody back pain conditions and find some other (often illogical) structural explanation.

This is why so many completely normal and expected spinal aging
processes have been vilified as symptomatic mechanisms. For without
these scapegoats for fall back on, doctors would have to tell far too
many patients that they simply have no idea why the pain exists. I
guess that these physicians would rather embrace unproven myths than have no answer at
all.

Heal Back Pain Treatment

Ask any patient what they are doing to combat their
chronic back pain
and you will get lots of different answers: drugs, chiropractic, exercise, surgery.

Now ask them what they expect to get as a result. Most likely they will look puzzled. Often the reply is something like… "I want to have less pain." The patient is almost always focused on the symptoms, not the
actual condition. My answer to this question was simple… I wanted to be
free of all pain forever and have any contributing conditions cured forever.

A better answer is… “I want to be healthy: mind and body.”

Back pain treatment
protocol keeps a patient focused on continual
symptomatic relief
of the condition. I would love to see doctors educate patients on
the reality of their pain and the actual chances of achieving a medical
cure. Unfortunately, this is not likely to occur, since many doctors do
not even know this information themselves.

It is no surprise that
misdiagnosis
is the #1 reason for the long-term perpetuation of back ache in the majority of cases.

Heal Back Pain Truths

How do I know this is all true? I have seen the proof. It is that
simple. I suffered for decades with all sorts of horrible back pain,
stomach pain and other mindbody syndromes. The thought of my pain
coming from anything other than the diagnosed physical causes indicated
by my doctors never even crossed my mind. Why would it? I was merely the patient and the doctors are the experts, right? Wrong.

When it comes to back ache, medical science has completely missed
the point entirely. The best it can usually offer is one unreliable
symptomatic treatment after another. Patients need to learn the facts.
It is crucial to learn why back pain has become an
epidemic.
It is crucial to be critical of the system when it is failing you.

This is your life. Take charge of it and be responsible for your own healthcare
choices. The more you learn about the reality of your back pain and the
way that modern medicine has created a huge and profitable
treatment industry,
the angrier you will become. Now, turn that anger into something positive. Use the
fire to propel your mind out of the dark ages of thought when it comes
to health. Embrace the facts about the nature of chronic pain.
